  1. History up for grabs

    Australia v Lions (11:00 BST)

    One more time.

    It will be hard to live up to last Saturday when the Lions clinched the series against Australia in the last minute in front of over 90,000 at Melbourne Cricket Ground.

    But history is still up for grabs in Sydney as Andy Farrell’s team aim to become the first Lions team since 1927 in Argentina to record a series whitewash.

    That was nearly 100 years ago and is surely a major motivation.

    The job is done but not complete.
